rest days
Scheduled training pauses
Rest days are days set aside for recovery from physical exertion, particularly in fitness and training contexts.
Athletes and regular exercisers schedule rest days to allow muscles to repair and prevent overtraining.
The term also applies to religious observance, where certain days are designated for rest from work.
In labor contexts, rest days are guaranteed days off that workers receive as part of their employment terms.
I take two rest days per week to avoid burnout.
